Hi. I'm a lurker trying to learn something about machine embroidery, as my heart is yearning to get a machine and join the fun with you all. My main love is apparel sewing and I want to embroider on it for embellishment.
I wonder if you would be so kind as to give me some advice. My husband frowns upon me getting another machine, so I'm looking at the used ones on eBay, hoping that I could talk him into a less expensive model. There are some Viking #1+ machines that look good to me, but I have some questions. Some of them come with a Creative Designer reader/writer and used cards for storage media. I asked if the cards were floppy discs, and they said no, that they are Viking products.
If anyone can help me, my questions are 1) How much do these cards cost each. and 2) how long will Viking support them? Maybe the machine is no longer top of the line, but I'd like to think that for a good machine, They would provide the cards forever. Do they have a track record for that kind of support?
Thanks ever so much, Sharon
